This time of year keep hands free to break the muddy face down experience. Prior to us both using cramp ons my mate face and arse splashed three times in one day, ruined my fishing as my ribs hurt so much!! We’re both aged 65 and realised that day that our bodies don’t recover as quickly as they...
I have to say as an ex match angler I used to love the normark range for all float work, they had a rod for everything but in those days not at 15ft. As a barbel/chub angler wanting a longer rod I have a 15ft acolyte specimen and for predominantly chub fishing a 14ft plus which is basically just...
A friend now sadly passed away claimed to have witnessed EA stocking the Welland with barbel many years ago. I have never seen one or indeed know of anyone who has though I did hear a third hand rumour about 15 or so years ago that someone had caught a long lean fish similar to a carp with...
Hi Hurgen, I think that this is sold to Andy sorry. I will get back in touch if for any reason he doesn't want it . Thanks for your interest. Regards Kevin.
Thanks for everyone’s input. Ordered the Korum. I have an old transition larger bag which is excellent, hopefully this will be as good, Also like the lie flat opening.
Good call I will order one. I have a larger Korum ruckbag old style and it’s excellent. Also order to be able to Lie it flat, several times my roving bag has rolled down the bank. Good call.
Hi folks anyone found a good alternative to the above. Mine has come unstitched after relatively little use. Would prefer something which will accommodate an unhooking Matt in some way.
I’ve just bought a mint 6000 with spare spools but in all honesty it’s a little large for what I want albeit it’s a very nice reel. I’m after 5000 size for my 1.75 rod for small river fishing if anyone has one in vgc.
Myself and my fishing companion arrived at the conclusion that as it’s the large fish which are female which we’re after the difficulty in working them out and their defiance of any logic has more to do with sex than species! This is confirmed at home on any given day!
Apparently from the article it’s a reaction which occurs as the tyre is exposed to the atmosphere as it breaks down and produces this particular chemical. I’m fairly certain the research is Canadian but I’d be surprised if it only affects salmon. The article pointed out that this will get worse...
I think thats very relevant with rivers with lots of road crossings, I thinking particularly of downstream of Newark on Trent. I read a very interesting article recently about Canadian salmon affected by road run off and scientists have pinpointed the particular chemical affecting the fish as...
